Haryana: Congress loses High Court relief in Tejra Chairman election case, EC to decide

The Haryana High Court on Friday dismissed the relief sought by the Congress party concerning the upcoming Tejra Chairman election, where the party alleged that 18 local councillors had been detained in the state.\n\nWith the court refusing to intervene, the matter now moves to the Election Commission, which will examine the report submitted by the Assistant District Magistrate before determining whether the election should proceed.\n\nThe Tejra Chairman post, a pivotal position in local governance, is scheduled to be filled soon, and the commission's ruling will decide if the poll can be held as planned.\n\nCongress had contended that the alleged detention could skew the electoral process, but the judges found no immediate grounds for judicial interference.\n\nThe Election Commission is expected to announce its decision in the coming days.
